Seeing the free hand rendering of the Perspective of the Golf Course Hotel Project here in Abu Dhabi, cant help to reminiscence the college days where all technical and architectural drawings were done by free hand. During those days, students were trained from vertical and inclined lettering to isometric and perspective drawings. This further develop the handwriting of engineering and technical pupils to a presentable level. Architecture students then were made to sit on the grass with their illustration boards, technical pen and water colors to render building perspective at sight! I dont know if the practice still exists to this date, but if ever because of the advent of technology, it could be on a very rare basis now. Life just like work is harder then, but it emanates the best within a raw human skills without any aids but sheer freehand, strokes that purely crafted by hand. Designers of today have gone a long way, but preserving the original way should still take its space to look back the source of it all.
